Dear Sir

e Letters tp the Editor mmt b l - clcarly written on one si tri|or ths n paper. Wliere a nom-de.plum* is used the name of the write must be enclosed for reference purposes only. 1 . 7 CUMBERLAND ROARS AGAIN 7 \ Sir^ —I was interested to read t replies made by your Scottish corn pondents to the merited chasti: ment I inflictcd on them. Their se timental balderdash confirmed n long-held suspicions that, despite £ their alleged sense of humour ai superiority over all other races"wha's like us? De'il a vin!"—ax all such boasts, the Scot suffers fro an inferiority complex co fronted with evidence of th£ gre; works and cultural progress English race. I"Ve studied them in M last few days Avith their wry fac» since ray truthful pen made a ho in that great, empty bagpipe bla. der of national pride. Ljiayen't sef so much tartan on, the strife latel What martial ardour flames i Tullochgorm's letter! The Ind&n Mi tiny welk_over does not prove muci Anybody could blow a few Hindi from but just cast yoi mind back to the days when wit equal arms on both sides the Englisl men chased the Scots about over tl: heather. And Mr don't disfigure yor columns with that broken, *Ijale< that your Scots friends interpolat in their letters. Some English peopl speak ungrammatically, but we don' quote-phrases in Cockney or An.gl<i Saxon in order to add a little fals colour 1 and spurious charm to oui noble language. ; At any rate Sir got the bite i anticipated—and whaj a bite. Yours etc., Duke of' Cumberland
